Behringer Ring Modulator BM-12

Posted on by

The Behringer BM‑12 is a forthcoming analog ring modulator pedal designed to replicate the iconic Moog Mooger‑Fooger MF‑102 from 1998. It features dual‑waveform LFO, voltage‑controlled carrier oscillator, and full analog ring modulation circuitry. Behringer first released prototype imagery in early 2023, showcasing a nearly identical layout and wooden side panels, though the company had not yet confirmed pricing or a release date at that time .

As of mid‑2025, news sources indicate the BM‑12 was finally available for pre‑order as of July 24, 2025, suggesting availability to commence in the coming weeks or months .

Feature List

  • 100% analog ring modulation circuit
  • Voltage‑controlled carrier oscillator for internal modulation
  • Dual‑waveform LFO (sine & square), with Rate and Amount controls
  • Drive control to add gain and grit
  • Mix or modulation balance control
  • Mono audio input/output
  • CV / expression pedal jacks for Rate, Amount, Mix, and Frequency modulation control

Editor’s Notes

  • Devoted as a modern clone of Moog’s MF‑102 ring modulator, aimed at both guitarists and synthesists
  • Price point aligns with Behringer’s strategy of affordable analog clones (e.g. BM‑15M Murf Box sold for $129 USD)
  • Despite prototype imagery released in 2023, production appears heavily delayed—reflecting Behringer’s longer timelines for hardware rollout

Release Date

  • Pre‑order announced: July 24, 2025
  • Expected shipping: late 2025 (exact date unconfirmed)

Behringer have announced 2 a second prototype of their Moogerfooger clones. This one is the Ring Modulator. Modelled after the Moog Moogerfooger MF-102 (pictured below) – let’s check out what we can tell with no further information, videos or anything from Behringer.

As you can see – they both look similar in functionality with the knobs, switches and screen printing showing the same information. It will be interesting to see what is different inside with the electronics.

Even the rear connections seem to be exactly the same. This news may come as a relief for those who have been riding the pain of the hiking used prices of Mooger Foogers. Although, Behringer haven’t indicated how much they’ll be selling these for yet.
